Question
How should one diagnose and treat yellow ear fluid caused by pediatric otitis media?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric otitis media in clinical practice is antibiotics, and symptomatic medications can be used according to the child’s symptoms. Regional treatments can also be performed, such as using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child primarily exhibits ear pain, it is recommended to use a moderate amount of pain relievers to alleviate pain. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken; if there is a high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In case of severe conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention should be sought. Additionally, properly arranging diet and rest habits can also aid in the recovery from the disease.
